What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions that affects how students focus, organize their thoughts, and manage emotions. It can appear as inattentive, hyperactive, or a combined type, and often impacts a child’s performance in school and at home.
Students with ADHD may struggle to stay on task, complete assignments, or regulate their energy levels. These challenges are directly related to executive function skills, the mental processes that support planning, attention, and emotional control.
At Strategic Learning Clinic Montreal, our specialists provide structured ADHD tutoring programs designed to help students strengthen these skills. Through personalized tutoring for ADHD students and evidence-based coaching, we help children build focus, manage distractions, and develop study habits that last.
Signs of ADHD in the Classroom
While ADHD can look different for each student, some common signs include:
- Daydreaming or being easily distracted
- Forgetting instructions or recently learned material
- Talking during lessons or interrupting others
- Making careless mistakes on assignments
- Fidgeting or difficulty sitting still
- Struggling with time management and organization
- Difficulty staying focused or completing tasks
When these patterns continue, they can interfere with learning and confidence. Early support through structured ADHD coaching in Montreal or cognitive-training methods such as Interactive Metronome can help students improve attention and self-regulation before habits become barriers to learning.
How Does ADHD Impact Study Habits?
ADHD impacts more than attention; it influences how students plan, organize, and retain information. Many children with ADHD also experience coexisting conditions such as anxiety, learning disabilities, auditory processing disorder, or sensory processing disorder, which can make studying even more difficult. Because these conditions share similar symptoms, an accurate diagnosis requires professional evaluation and collaboration between parents, teachers, and clinicians.
A strong first step is to assess your child’s hearing and vision to rule out any underlying issues that may be affecting focus or comprehension. Diagnosing ADHD typically involves a detailed symptom checklist and a review of behavioral patterns at home and in school.
At Strategic Learning, we go beyond diagnosis; our specialists create structured plans that combine ADHD coaching and personalized tutoring for ADHD students to strengthen executive functioning, attention span, and time management skills.
While medication can help manage ADHD, it’s not the only option. Our approach integrates Interactive Metronome brain training and personalized tutoring to help students improve attention, organization, and confidence without depending solely on medication.
Tutoring and Brain Training Support for Students with ADHD
Since 2003, Strategic Learning Clinic has been helping children and teens with ADHD improve their attention, processing, and learning performance through the Interactive Metronome® (IM) program – a proven, drug-free brain training method that enhances focus, timing, and motor coordination.
Unlike traditional tutoring, Interactive Metronome uses rhythmic auditory and physical exercises to strengthen the brain’s ability to process information and manage time effectively. The result is improved concentration, faster cognitive response, and greater classroom success.
Each ADHD tutoring program is customized to meet a student’s specific needs, combining IM® training with one-on-one ADHD coaching and personalized learning strategies. This integrated approach helps students build essential academic and life skills that medication alone cannot achieve.
Interactive Metronome® Training in Montreal – Improve Focus, Coordination & Learning Performance
The Interactive Metronome® (IM) program at Strategic Learning Clinic in Montreal is a science-based brain-training system that helps children, teens, and adults improve focus, coordination, processing speed, and executive functioning.
Used worldwide by educators and therapists, IM® is a proven, non-medication approach that builds stronger attention and timing skills, core abilities linked to learning and academic success.
IM® training combines rhythmic auditory cues with coordinated physical movements to improve synchronization between the brain and body. This precise timing practice enhances neurological efficiency, leading to better concentration, memory, motor planning, and cognitive control.
Studies have shown that improved rhythm and timing can significantly boost academic performance and attention regulation, especially for students with ADHD, learning differences, or sensory processing challenges.

The program is highly effective for:
- Children with ADHD or executive function weaknesses
- Individuals with autism spectrum disorder or learning disabilities
- Students who struggle with time management, organization, or motor skills
